The judges said they were ‘delighted by the breadth, depth and diversity of the entries submitted and hugely impressed by the evidence of the work being undertaken’.

Head of Prebendal Louise Salmond Smith said: “Our Pre-Prep is committed to providing unrivalled outdoor learning opportunities by integrating Beach School lessons into our curriculum.”

Ms Salmond Smith said: “Imagine an expanse of sand as far as the eye can see.

“This is our classroom.

“Where better to take these curious children than to a place where the sand is a blank canvas?”
